Check tire pressure. I had a prius and milage would drop significantly (60 to 50) when the tires were low. Of course tune up. Have you changed gas stations / brands recently?

Now having said that. It is great to follow a passion, but you need to feed yourself. So you have to weight the two 'what I love' vs 'what pays the bills' When I finished school, I had a lot of biology major friends, w

I have heard, but have not read, 'What color is my parachute' is a great book for that. There are a bunch of psychology based tests you can take to help decide on general career paths. I remember taking one 20 years ago. It had

Thanks. Well that answers the question. Opponents are threats, your tools to counter are not. As in: Your gun is a threat to me, my gun is how I defend against YOUR gun.

I agree, and would push it further, that almost all professionals need to have a basic understanding of Logic and programming. At least to create a Sort routine (without copying it). I believe schools should require a Logic (not just philo

Anything not documented is throw away. Any given day someone can win the lottery, inherit a lot of money, or need to leave for some other reason. Every complaint they had was a direct effect of failure to document. Well that or the other p

A friend of mine who graduated in 1983 with a computer science and an accounting degree, had an interview for an accounting job. Accounting was his actual passion, but he also enjoyed programming. He was told at one interview: 'Your

This might not be the first to break, but it will eventually, and if corrected NOW will make things much smoother: Your documentation of processes and procedures is NOT adequate. 'everyone used to know about are getting lost' - oh

Not that I know anything ... but I keep thinking about getting a neck brace and wear it when I work on a computer. Seems like a 'simple' fix ... but I have made that mistake before (as in think it is a simple fix).

It could be. From HR perspective it might be the best place to work. I would look at glassdoor. Realize it could be great and awful depending on where you work. HR could be great while IT could suck. I interviewed at a place that on glass

Valid point. I am often amazed the reports (all sides of the political aisle) will list a number without context. Twice as many as last year. Went from 1 to 2, and we want you to be upset. It forces me to check multiple sites to underst

I cannot speak to crypto, but as far as the others go: Gold is at 4988 today, MAX was 5626... beginning of November it was 4000, so in 3 months up 25%, what do I care about the max it was for 5 seconds. Silver is at 88 today, MAX was 122...

For learning basic, the question is: do you already know how to program? Only reason I can think to learn basic is if you do not know any programming language. And even then there are better choices. Do they make an C compiler for the Appl

I agree with n3t. What is your goal. Depending on why you want to learn programming would help answer the question. Most of the answer here I agree with. But if your goal is: to teach a little child, or find a job, or bragging rights at
